A resolution declaring that the expansion of Palestinian industry is injured by the suspension of immigration was adopted today by the Federation of Jewish Industrialists in the presence of K. W. Stead, Palestinian director of trade and customs, who was asked to submit the protest to the government.

On behalf of the London Economic Board, S. Goldwater supported the resolution, saying that he had come to Palestine a Britisher but that he had become a Jew here. He declared that in view of the immigration stoppage he and thousands of others who had come to Palestine felt that they had come under false pretences.
